Opis

Explains why an industrial and financial elite decided that authoritarianism, and Hitler, would be better for business than democracy.

Recenzje

'A fascinating glimpse behind the facades of grand hotels and into the complex social world of privileged guests, struggling service workers, and beleaguered bosses. Bisno reveals the startling potential of liberalism to consume itself by literally opening doors to those who make no secret of their desire to destroy it.' Molly Loberg, author of The Struggle for the Streets of Berlin
